《教堂钟声》发表于《福布斯》杂志二○○一年特刊号。从表面上看,作者写得很轻松,但文章所指都是极其严肃的话题:我们心脏跳动的节奏能否适应芯片的速度;不要忘记我们是人,都是肉体凡胎,承受力是有限的,所以搞不好科学技术的每次胜利都能变成我们的丧钟。作者连续二十多年报道硅谷,对科技持慎重态度,正因为如此,他的话才应该引起大家的思考。 “Church Bell” was published in 2001 issue of Forbes Magazine. On the surface, the author writes very easily, but the article refers to the most serious topic: whether the tempo of our heart beat can adapt to the speed of the chip; do not forget that we are human beings who are fleshly bodies and have a limited capacity Therefore, every victory in science and technology can become our death knell. The author has reported Silicon Valley for more than twenty years in a row and holds a cautious attitude toward science and technology. For this reason, his speech should arouse people’s consideration.
